SiG SAUER P228
25 February, 2011, 16:48
Is there such a thing as an all-metal SIG P228? Not the one that's marked 'Polizi' or whatever.
Is there an after market metal slide kit for it?
I need another 'those were the days' nostalgia pistol.

Re: SiG SAUER P228
The only P228 I can think of is the Tanaka, and that's plastic but with a steel like finish.

Re: SiG SAUER P228
Hmm, thanks. As it's effectively the same thing, how about the 229. Best version?

The only ones I can think of is the KJW and the Tanaka (non-railed old-school). The Tanaka's are very nice. The KJ is metal, but the Tanaka is very well made.

Re: SiG SAUER P228
I've got the SigArms factory licenced KJW P229R and it's a very nice piece of kit, but rare as rocking horse doo-doo.
The way I look at it is, as Sig themselves use the KJW in their training academy for force-on-force training, then if it's good enough for Sig it's good enough for me!

Must of been a steel version at that price. Just got a caspian kit...watch this space :D
Maybe a 226 would be an easier option pgc kit for $200 plus a second hand base gun.

Re: SiG SAUER P228
The manufacturers of airsoft P228's are Tanaka and UHC.
The Tanaka is a GBB and comes in several versions (all plastic):
ABS
Chrome finish ABS
Steel finish ABS
Heavyweight
Heavyweight Swiss Police
Mosquito Molds used to make a metal slide (not frame) for the Tanaka P228.
KHC makes a NBB in ABS and also a springer version
Marui makes a P228 in a springer version
Prime makes kits to convert a TM P226 into a P228 or a P229. They are brass and come finished or unfinished
There are other springers made, these are just the main ones.
